Show/Fancy guppies

@Irma.

Here is the male that I was talking about, unfortunately, my psycho Siamese fighter female, was fine with them the whole day, then started attacking them,

Anyway, is this a sort of Moscow green??

Hi, yes it is a sort of Moscow Green. Not a bad specimen but with the obvious flaws of the white spots on the tail and fin but still, a lovely colour! A pure Moscow Green would be totally green with no other colour present but no bad
He might be able to recover from this attack but be careful that if he deveops fin rot that you treat it immediately. You will need to remove the siamese fighter or else she will kill him.

 

thanks Irma.

i did, they will be placed in their own tank tonight,and i will keep an eye on the fin....

so the colour is fine, coz they had ones that was just that colour, i took the one with the spots.

maybe i must have a look and see if they still have....

Hi There, wonder if you can assist me on this I have a female guppy that just goes agro if a place any fish in the tank with her, all the other fish are guppies but she chows the male's fins and so forth, any advise??

 

The blue and green moscows come in a range of colour intensities. Some people like the lighter blue and green colours and other people (like me) like the darker blue and green moscows. So, it's personal taste. If you google them you will notice this colour variation as well as the fact that most of them do not have other colours, like white, present.

 

We're going off topic here but just quickly - I had such a guppy female and struggled to find the perfect tank arrangement for her. If I had her with one other female she would attack it. Eventually I had her in a larger tank with about 10 other females and she was fine. The options are limited for you seeing as she is attacking when she is in a group. You might have to take her back to where you bought her and exhange her for another female, unless you are prepared to keep on keeping her seperate.

Please PM me if you need more advise - I'll gladly help
